Monster Jam New Orleans 2018 {Event Recap}

This past Saturday (January 27) we arrived early to the New Orleans Mercedes-Benz Superdome to attend the PIT PARTY earlier in the day! With a 2:30 pm opening time, we got there a few minutes early to get in line and be on the floor quickly! The rain didn't slow us down - we managed to stay dry as we were able to park in the garage connected to the dome. 

As you walk onto the Superdome Floor, you can see the TONS of DIRT that they brought in just for the show - plus you can see the Monster Trucks up close!  The pit party was PACKED this year!

Once on the floor, we grabbed a Souvenir Yearbook (only $10) and got in line for Driver Autographs and Photo Opps! The lines usually took 5-10 minutes to get up to the driver, but some popular Monster Trucks had really long lines, like Grave Digger and Zombie!

We got to see the Monster Trucks up close - We found out during a trivia question that each weighs on average 12,000 pounds! The drivers were SUPER NICE and took their time talking to the kids and taking photos and signing autographs! The Pit Party ended at 5:30, but most of the drivers were gone by 5:00 pm so I was glad that we got their early, but there was still plenty of time to get some great photo opps with the trucks too!

There are also other freebies going on during the PIT PARTY - like FREE chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A and a Build Your Own Monster Truck Zone! And most importantly, we picked up FREE tickets to the PIT PARTY at our Southern Quality Ford dealership beforehand - so our entire afternoon was FREE!

And then the floor was cleared and the
MONSTER JAM 2018 in NEW ORLEANS began!

And a show they put on! Starting with a Qualifying Round to see who goes first, then a 2 wheel competition, and finally the RACES and FINALE Freestyle Competition!

You know when BAD TO THE BONE starts playing that Grave Digger is up next and the crowd LOVES IT!  Grave Digger performed many TRICKS to please the crowd - he was definitely 

BAD TO THE BONE - and won the FREESTYLE competition with this one!

Monster Energy driver Coty Saucier said he came there that night to DESTROY his truck and he definitely came through with that promise while the fans cheered him on!

After three hours of Engine Revving, Monster Truck Flipping fun, the winner was announced and it was no surprise that the 2018 Monster Truck Winner for New Orleans was MONSTER ENERGY!
